I think they said ef and Wind will never again be available. I can see that they wouldn't exactly sell a lot when most people have played them already, but it's a shame they're gone forever.

I interpreted that as meaning that they wouldn't be distributing/supporting the translations since they're dealing directly with minori now, not that they're never going to use them in the future. That said, now that you mention it, it would be kinda hard to try to sell ef right after giving everyone enough time to play it...
